I've always felt the abundance of ATYCLB and HTDAAB songs hindered sales and served no useful purpose. A greatest hits compilation such as this is targeted at casual listeners to introduce them to U2, right? Well, there's a damn good chance that if they own anything, it's going to be one of the latest albums! It seemed every person and their dog bought ATYCLB and HTDAAB. So instead of getting the classic hits they remember from radio, like AIWIY and EBTTRT, they're getting songs they already have. Stupid.
But everything about the compilation is a complete waste of time, so I'm hardly surprised that they fucked up the track selection. U218 doesn't even seem to know what it is. Is it a best of? Evidently not to the band, as it doesn't include a number of songs we've all heard them say they think are best. Is it a greatest hits? Well, no, because a greatest hits would never have Walk On in place of EBTTRT. Worst. Compilation. Ever.
